My old Martin D-35 is my ultimate resource in times of trouble, or noodling at home. When I go out to play, I take my Apollo, built by Nick Appolonio in Portland, Maine, a guitar I love. In the wall of my living room there are three guitars hanging side by side, looking very beautiful--the Martin, a classical Spanish style I inherited from a dear brother, and an old 12-string I picked up for $200 long ago, seldom played.

Oh, and speaking of positive vibes, I now have an electric guitar! Who would ever have thought? A gift from Barky!! An Epiphone KrazyKat, I think it is. Fun to fool with. It has a bend-bar which makes it go wah-wah, and ruins the tuning when used. Clever, eh?
